    Every year I post a screenshot of my aunt’s rant about everyone dying from the covid vaccine in 3 years.

    Every year people tell me that’s not polite, and every year I reply that admitting you were wrong is free.

      Is your aunt dead or does she get to live with the shame and ridicule? If she is dead, then this a definitely a way harder flex than if she isn’t.

      I deleted my Facebook because I would be going scorched Earth on everyone, mostly family, in my friends list. I don’t associate with most of them IRL, but at least I haven’t put in writing my true feeling about them and people that think like them. My thoughts are abundantly clear on Lemmy behind the veil of anonymity.

      I like to repost my mother-in-law’s posts about how she 100% guaranteed Russia wouldn’t invade Ukraine. (From 3 months before the start of the Ukraine war.)

        Ouch, I said that too. I honestly thought Putin wouldn’t be that stupid, because the guerilla war that followed the occupation would be insanely costly.

        But I’ll admit I was wrong.
